CONFECTIONS

Savor the firsts. Nothing every tastes quite as good the second time around. I still remember my first taste of pomegranate. And the first chocolate cake that came from my Easy Bake Oven remains unrivaled. For some reason we always assume that things get better with time, but I find that, at least with food, nothing ever beats the first taste. This next Call requires the photo-equivalent of the Easy Bake. Interested?

Check out this Call for Entries from RayKo Photo Center (San Francisco, CA) for the 6th Annual International Juried Plastic Camera Show. The entry fee is low, and I can’t wait to see how many of you own a plastic camera…or end up buying one. Take a look…

The transition from Summer to Fall foods in the South is an odd muddle of unlikely cohorts. If I hit the farmers market at the right time of year, I can get beautiful lettuce and huge heirloom tomatoes while I am picking out my pumpkin for carving. You’ve gotta love a long growing season; it seems like every veggie gets a second chance to produce. This next Call is all about transit of people and things with places to be and people to see.

CALL for ENTRIES:
In Transit

Whether by road, sea, rail, air, or other means, vehicles are both essential and ubiquitous in our daily lives. Photographers have documented transportation history, as NASA launched rockets, Ford assembled cars, and the Wright brothers took flight. As modes of transportation, photographers observe the intersections of cultures on public transit and the isolation of solitary commuters on the highway. Modes of transit spawn communities, and photographers have documented biker gangs and houseboats.

Journeys are photographed out of windows of speeding vehicles; blurred, voyeuristic, and fleeting. The vehicles themselves are cultural icons and status symbols: sailboats, muscle cars, Harley-Davidsons, and fixed gear bicycles. For In Transit, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images from and of the vehicles that move us.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE: October 26, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of accepted work via email approximately eight days after the submission deadline.

ENTRY FEE: 5 for $25, each add’l $5

JUROR: Jock Montgomery has worked as a professional guide and expedition leader – and of course as a photographer – in some of the most beautiful spots in the world.

He has taken more than 70 groups on a variety of trips in the Himalayas, as well as co-lead numerous kayaking expeditions with first descents in Nepal, Bhutan and India.

After 12 amazing years in Katmandu, Jock is now based in Bangkok, Thailand, with his French wife and co-explorateur Annie Miniscloux where he is in demand as a commercial and editorial assignment photographer. He was the sole photographer for Menam Chao Phraya, River of Life and Legend, a 252-page coffee-table book about Thailand’s principal waterway. He speaks Nepali fluently and is conversant in Thai.

AWARDS: For this exhibition, juror Jock Montgomery will select up to 30 images for display in the main gallery, and up to an additional 40 to be included in the online gallery. All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced.

FOUR-ALARM
dinner

I used to live 12″ from a firehouse in Downtown Charleston. The kitchen shared a wall with the firehouse. If there was an alarm while I was cooking dinner, I had to hang on to the pots on the stove and the glasses on the counter to prevent crashes. The gallery sponsoring this next Call has had a much better experience with firehouses. Take a look…

I am not a fan of red velvet cake. Someone will be at my door any moment to evict me from the South, but I am just don’t get it. Most of the red velvets I have tasted are lightly cocoa-flavored cakes with the plastic-y overtone of excessive amounts of artificial red coloring.

CRAZY
’bout
SNAILS

There are a few things that I simply can’t feed my friends, in-laws, and co-workers. If I were to show up at a party with escargot, the rumors of my impending insanity would abound. In the art world, I have learned that I simply can’t show my work in an area where fine artisan crafts are what sells. Well, this next Call has a juror that I suspect you can’t freak out. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 2012 International Photo Exhibition from the 12 12 Gallery (Richmond, VA). This juror is known for his own visually provocative work, and I know I have work I can’t show ANYWHERE that I plan to enter. How about you?

CALL for ENTRIES:
International Photo Exhibition

ELIGIBILITY: Artists around the world age 18+ may submit up to 3 images for consideration. Additional images may be submitted at an additional cost for up to a total of 5 works. Work previously exhibited at 12 12 Gallery is not eligible.

MEDIA: Any photographic process

DEADLINE: September 24, 2012

NOTIFICATION: October 5, 2012

ENTRY FEE: Each entrant will pay a non-refundable $25 (US) entry fee for 3 images. Additional images, at $5 (US) each, for up to 5 total images, may be submitted.

JUROR: Ignatius Widiapradja, Associate Professor of Art and Design, has been teaching at Drake University since 1985. He has taught studio courses in Painting, Drawing, 2 Dimensional Design, and Digital Photography and Editing.

Professor Widiapradja’s current creative works are primarily in painting and digital print. In his works, the articulation of images and spatial construction form a cohesive multidimensional reality that exhibits a state of constant flux.

It is the mapping of overlapping memories, future projections and multidimensional processes of awareness. In our memories, images, events, feelings, desire, and space happen simultaneously and are inseparable and intertwined. Riveting, provocative, and meticulously articulate in their design, Professor Widiapradja’s digital compositions combine artist-captured images that represent landscape, travel, nature, portrait, studio, commercial, and fine art photography.

His international aesthetic represents the majestic Himalayas, the peoples of Indonesia, Nepal, Bhutan, Buddhist temples, and much more; electronically sewn together to bring new perspective and juxtaposition to familiar objects of nature and human form.

AWARDS: Cash and prizes up to $1000 will be awarded solely at the discretion of the exhibition juror. Recognition of work by Professor Widiapradja may also be designated to the extent he deems appropriate. These designations may not include a cash prize. Also, 12 12 Gallery Director, Martin McFadden, will award a Director’s Choice Award.

SALES: All work must be for sale. 12 12 Gallery will receive a 35% commission.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Unreal

Posted on September 2, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

PATTY pan CAKE

I just returned from my local apple orchard which also serves as a farmer’s market. I bought what you would expect: peaches, apples, tomatoes. But I also came home with patty pan squash. Some folks call them custard squash, and that should tell you how decadent they taste–out of this world, surreal, defying all logic. I have to admit that the fact that they are shaped like flying saucers doesn’t hurt their appeal either. This next Call is looking for your view of the unreal. Investigate further…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Unreal

Our dreams combine the ordinary and the seemingly nonsensical, where rules of physics and logic do not apply. Artists exploring this realm depict remembered fantasies or create new ones from their waking imaginations. Their work is a distortion of reality, making everyday objects and environments alien and magical. In photography, optical illusions and modern digital tools have allowed artists to create new visual worlds that blur the line between the real and fantastic. For The Unreal, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the surreal and otherworldly.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE: September 18, 2012

PEANUTTY
goodness…

I am dumfounded by the number of times I use “I” while writing this blog. But popular opinion confirms that a certain about of narcissim is inherent in the act of blogging…period. I suppose I could start writing about the food quirks of the famous. It’s election season in the US, anyone want to talk about Jimmy Carter and peanuts? I didn’t think so. This next Call encourages a healthy dose of narcissism. Be your own muse…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for id – The Object of Self.

CALL for ENTRIES:
id – The Object of Self

The self-portrait: Is it your compulsion? Your obsession? An impulse?

Was it out of necessity (the mandatory Photo 101 exercise, a portrait for the office newsletter, or because you needed to self-promote)? Is it the autobiographical record you decided was best told in image?

Sometimes we have to step in front of the lens – we can’t seem to communicate what we want to others, or maybe we’re just the most convenient choice for a model (the least expensive, for sure). Even if we got there by default, there is no one better able to translate our vision to the camera than ourselves. Perhaps you were experimenting with persona or striving for a personal perfection? Were you desperately seeking Self?

For those willing to dig deep and bare all, the self-portrait is a reward for your bravery – because whether you love it or hide it in the depths of your archives for decades, you’ve learned from it. Whatever your intention, there is nothing closer to an authentic portrait, than to sit both behind and in front of the lens. And whether for totally narcissistic or completely humble intents – you have to admit, it’s you.
